Light out by Harrelix

This is my first time entering Ludum Dare. I just learned how to use Game Maker a month ago and I have to go to school so this is a hard challenge, but I did it.It's pretty shitty tho ;)

PLOT: You're happened to be in a dark maze-type building filled with zombies.You have in your hand a flashlight with some battery and a knife. Survive for 5 hours to win.

TUTORIAL: WASD to move. Left click to toggle flashlight or attack with the knife.E to toggle items. Attack crates with the knife to open them. F to take screenshots and K to kill yourself :)

The enemy sounds were nice and added to the mood. The enemies themselves didn't actually attack me it seemed, only ran up to me then away. Brief moment of panic when my flashlight ran out :)

Great Game for learned GameMaker in a month. Need some adjustment in enemies (They start spinning around me) and others details. Glad to help in any question with GameMaker.

Nice mood and creep sounds there! Gameplay is a bit slow-paced but fun overall. Keep up the good work!

Well done on your first ludum dare game! I like it and it is very similar to my game actually :D
Is there some kind of mechanic to kill the zombies without getting damaged? I died after killing 2 zombies every time. Great game!

Great game! Got some scares when a wild zombie lunged at me :D Unfortunatelly the game froze after some minutes playing it.

This is pretty good for someone who has just started out. Even though the game has some rough edges, it has that charm that only beginner level games have :)

Cool entry.
Well done for your first LD game.
I didn't see much use for the flashlight however. I just ran around with the knife and stabbed at everything. Worked out pretty well. It would be cool if you could scare the zombies away with your flashlight or something like that.

Pretty cool for a first timer! The flashlight works well and the zombie noises are very unnerving indeed.

Had a little scare with the first zombie jumping out from the dark behind a crate. The other attacks were less scary taken that they all spawned in from the same position (and eventually killed me!)

Next I tried the obvious tactic for a cowardly chap as myself: sitting in a corner knive out. The Zombies clearly found my superior stance disturbing as they started moving back and forth wildly barely attacking at all. Their path finding skills must have rotted away.

Some objectives to complete before the time runs out would force the player to make a move. Not a big problem really. Good work!

Liked the idea of the flashlight not being a necessary element to the game. The sound effects were amazing and hilarious. It would be nice to see different weapons and some slower zombies, those guys are really fast! Nice entry!

The graphics and sound effects make for a nice atmosphere, and the gameplay felt like a very interesting twist of Hotline Miami. With way more content, and more polish, this could be a remarkable entry. Keep up the good work!
